Dispatch can be requested in other forms: i.e. airmail, DHL, Federal Express, TNT, UPS, Freight or diplomatic pouch. If one of these alternative methods is chosen, the dispatch cost will be added to the quote. Clients may choose to provide ITU with their own valid UPS/Fedex/DHL/TNT account number for shipping at their expense. If a freight forwarder is designated by a client, the latter assumes all transport charges. The costs of shipping via registered mail have been added to the economy-class costs.

Any publication returned to ITU as unwanted must reach it within one (1) month from the date of its dispatch to the customer, subject to ITU’s prior agreement. A minimum charge of fifty Swiss francs (CHF 50.–) will normally be invoiced to the customer by ITU for return of the publication to stock. No exchange or refund is available for purchases made directly at the ITU Bookshop. In the case of electronic publications (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and online), these general conditions shall apply, subject to the specific derogation provisions contained in the Licence Agreements. The placing of an order implies full acceptance of these general conditions of sale. None of the provisions of these general conditions of sale shall be interpreted as constituting a derogation or renunciation of the privileges, immunities and facilities enjoyed by ITU in accordance with the international agreement applicable to it, in particular the Headquarters Agreement concluded with the Swiss Federal Council on 22 July 1971, as well as the Swiss law or any other relevant national legislation.
